As a flagship, first-in-the-country endeavor, RISE PA will deliver real economic and environmental benefits to Pennsylvania residents and position the Commonwealth as a national climate leader. By funding innovative projects, RISE PA has the potential to eliminate millions of tons of GHG emissions, create thousands of good-paying jobs, and increase Pennsylvania’s manufacturing competitiveness. Eligible projects must reduce industrial sector emissions through industrial electrification, efficiency and process emissions reductions, switching to low-carbon fuels, installing on-site renewable energy, utilizing carbon capture and storage, and reducing fugitive emissions from natural gas and oil systems and coal mining.
In addition to fighting the climate crisis and reinvigorating industry, these investments will help reduce air pollution across the Commonwealth while creating good jobs and a durable career pipeline for workers.
